As the first travel book produced by the hugely influential Bespokist Society, this handy guide takes you to a London you’ve never seen: a London of challenging Etruscan restaurants, edgy branding parlours, emoji hotels and hidden Icelandic communities; a London where 8-ply toilet paper is a thing.

On the way, meet an eclectic band of inspiring Londoners – from scriveners to socialites via urban wordsmiths and coffee preachers – and see why London is now the global epicentre of Bespokist consciousness, community and culture.

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW

Well this is a little gem of a read! Welcome to a truly got to have guide for places to visit in London that you would never find on your own and it is a perfect pocket-book size to ensure that it is handy to refer back to. Divided into five sections of North, South, East, West and Central London it ensures days out that covers everything that you will need, from eating, sight-seeing, theatre, sleeping and a loo that is a must pit stop for a wee while. I mean why spend a penny when you could spend a fortune?

This must have been a hoot to put together but to be honest I do think that one or two ideas could be winners. I know, but people pay out top dollar for the most ridiculous things if they believe that it is the ‘in thing’ to do. From the size of the book, to the well thought out sections, the addition of photos just complete this little book of hilarious must experience places and situations. The intermittent interviews with vendors of these establishments was just the icing on magnificent all I can eat virtual cake.

I just keep on remembering some of these ‘tourist attractions’ and just can’t help giggling to myself. If you enjoy the serious tongue in cheek humour, which at times is a little gross, then this would be a perfect little read for you. I do hope that a series of round the world Bespokist pocket-size travel guides are being made. My next visit to London just won’t be the same as I think I will smile at every man with a beard and just wonder…………

HERE IS A LITTLE ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Who are we?

A social collective with a passion for the curated and the bespoke. Current chairman is Tommy Sponge.

Where did it begin?

Like the impressionists who forged an artistic movement in the fin de siecle coffee shops of Paris, The Bespokist Society began in a biospheric winery in Norbiton in 2013.

Hi my name is Sue Hampson and as from today I am a Blogger, so here is a little about myself. I have always had a love of reading but it did escalate once I was bought a kindle. I read and listen to about 5 books per week but it is only over this last 18 months that I have realised how important reviewing is to other fellow readers and authors. I believe over time that my reviews have improved same as anything else you do regular. If I like an author's books I tend to buy everything they write, I never use unlimited on Amazon as I am a keeper of books and would hate to return them. I always respect that an author has spent months and months to produce a novel and I won't after taking a night to read it put up a terrible review. I would contact the author or publisher and say this novel isn't for me. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it but I have chosen badly.
I am not perfect, I never have been. I'm the one as a child that always walked into lamp posts and fell over. Mum tried to help and used to put me plasters on my knees before I went out to save me the trouble of coming back in . I have 5 grown up children and 9 grandchildren all which seem to have taken after me bless 'em to the extent that they have set up a joint chat page called Ma's bad Genes!
I love reading, I always have but my punctuation and grammar aren't the best but I do know a good story when I read it. That is what I review on the story.
I do reviews on Amazon.uk, Amazon.com, Goodreads, Netgalley, Twitter with links to publisher and author, my fb book page and Independent authors.
I love lots of genres Criminal Procedural, Mystery &Thrillers, Horror, Romance, Erotica and Fantasy. I do like variety. Feel free to contact me for further information anytime at susanhampson57@hotmail.co.uk
